[papercreters] The more you share, the more you learn.

My grandfather taught me a great lesson when I was a teenager.

He pulled a dollar out of his wallet and asked me to pull a dollar
out of mine. Then he'd ask me to trade dollars with him.


He asked, "Who's richer?"
The obvious answer is nobody!
Then he asked if I had any ideas to trade.

If two people have ideas and they trade ideas, now both people have
two ideas. It doesn't matter if the ideas are good or bad ideas,
both people can learn from good or bad ideas, so both people are
richer for the exchange. Pretty cool hunh? Try it sometime. Trade
dollars with a friend, then ask them if they have any ideas to
trade. I bet they'll enjoy the gesture.

What does this have to do with papercrete? Plenty! It's all about
learning.

Do you want to learn more about papercrete? The best way to learn
more is to share an idea. Give the ideas away and you'll reap many
rewards in the exchange with others. Your idea may trigger ideas
from many others.

The more ideas you share, the more everyone else will share and the
more you'll learn.

Of course, there's always the direct approach. Feel free to ask
questions!

Don't wait for me to post my traditional early morning message, jump
right in and post a message. Hard as it might be to believe,
sometimes I might spend a week away from the computer and not post
anything. This need not limit your learning. You can help fill the
gap and likely will have better posts than me anyway.
